Calan

An evening of ‘verve and raw excitement’

Calan bring together the remarkable talents of 5 young musicians giving a fresh and vibrant sound to traditional Welsh music. With their contemporary and lively approach they breathe new life into the old traditions. Sparkling melodies, foot tapping tunes and a spirited and energetic performance of Welsh step dancing. They blast their way through some of the old favourite reels, jigs and hornpipes before melting into some of the most beautiful and haunting songs. 

Calan have played at major festivals all over the UK and Europe sharing stages with K T Tunstall, The Proclaimers and Jools Holland and in 2014 a main stage performance at Cambridge Folk Festival and a session on the BBC Radio 2 Folk programme.  During 2015 the band will play two tours of the USA and Canada and in March  release their long awaited third album.
